J-hoppers definitely living it up to its reviews! Stayed for 6 nights in female dorm. Really big bunk beds with medium-sized lockers in the room itself. Cleanliness was top-notch and the distance for bus stop and kyoto station fairly nearby. Staff were helpful in pointing us in the right directions. Overall, very good stay!

I've stayed in hostels in different countries and I gotta say, Japan has the most spacious and cleanest hostels ever! I stayed at this hostel for one night only and I really don't have any complaints. I was in a 6 mixed bunk room and was lucky enough to snag a big corner bunk. There's privacy curtains, bed light, a... More

I stayed just one night but the place was wonderful. Great services, soap and shampoo included, wifi and free internet, towels if needed... all this for the right price. Very clean and spacious. Personnel was lovely and polite. Only drawback is that there is no elevator but is a 5/storey building. If you have no issues with carrying around heavy... More

Great hostel, extremely clean, 8bed dorm spacious pun lamp, curtain, power outlet & locker. Common kitchen space is great comfortable and well equip. DIY Laundry appliance works well as does wifi. Definitely recommend

Stayed there with my friend. We didn't get the ryokan style, so we stayed in bunk-bed room. We got the tatami flooring though! The staff was really nice, she carried my luggage to our room in 4th floor even though I told her I would go down and take it upstairs after I carried the linen and blanket! Bathroom and... More

Really enjoyed my stay here. Location is good, you are walking distance from the station and a few tourist sites. Some good places to eat and drink nearby. Hostel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. When I stayed it was very busy and I could only stay two nights but the staff called around all the local hostels and secured... More
